The ICT Division’s website notes that the department was split from the Ministry of Science & ICT in December 2011 to form the MoICT to ‘give more thrust’ to the ICT sector, while it calls the latest move to integrate the ICT/telecoms ministries ‘evidence of understanding of the importance of ICT [at] the highest policy level and also an indication that the government is keen to keep pace with [the] modern changing world.’
